The 2% of the insects will begin to reproduce and grow their population exponentially and in time enable the population to recover. This is if the population is large enough to enable random mating. The 98% reduction in population drastically reduces competition for the remaining individuals hence giving them abundant resources for them to thrive.
<span>Antibiotics work by selectively targeting the reproduction or growth of specific bacteria cells and by not attacking human DNA. Antibiotics do not, or should not, target and affect human DNA gyrases, although they should target the specific bacteria growth. The host, (human) DNA needs to remain unharmed while the bacteria does not replicate.</span>
